Watchful - Broken Hearts and Dreams

An entire generation
Is left without a chance
Poorer than our parents
A twist of circumstance

Born in pessimism
Discouraged by our dreams
The Sixties finally taught us
That nothing's what it seems

We're mad that we have no one
To blame except ourselves
Why can't we ever retire
Why can't we help ourselves

We're the generation
Of broken hearts and dreams
Just let us by

Now we can blame the President
But he can't stop a storm
It started with the Cold War
Long before we were born

The world grew even colder
And the future moved away
We got even older
And our chances slipped away

And if you think we're spoiled
And won't look for a way
Just take a look around you
At the children of today

We're the generation
Of broken hearts and dreams
Just let us by

If we don't change the future
Our kids will surely die
You think that we're defiant
But we're trained to question why

At least we can all read the signs
And we will not use your guns
As bad as we have got it
We're still the lucky ones

Tell me we're not crazy
It's growing worse each day
Tell me we're not lazy
We just want a better way

We're the generation
Of broken hearts and dreams
Just walk on by
